50 Cent does not want the details of his Vitamin Water deal mentioned during his bankruptcy case, according to published reports. During a court visit on Sept. 15th, Fif claimed that if the details are made public it could negatively impact his future business deals because companies that want to negotiate with him will have the upper hand.
In 2004, 50 partnered up with Glaceau, who owns Vitamin Water, for his own drink, Formula 50. In exchange for being the face of the brand, he was given a share in the company. When Coca-Cola bought Glaceau for $4.1 billion in 2007, 50 was paid $100 million for his shares in the company. He also signed a deal with Coca-Cola stating that the could still use him as the endorser, but that deal ended in 2009. In that deal, it states that discussing how much 50 was paid to promote the brand was prohibited.
The judge has not decided whether to honor 50’s request.

(AllHipHop News) Could Lil Wayne join Kim Kardashian, Ray J, Mimi Faust, and Hulk Hogan on the list of celebrities to have sex tapes hit the market? According to TMZ, an unnamed individual is attempting to sell intimate footage of Weezy to p### companies.
We’re told the big p### companies have been contacted by a person in possession of the tape, which shows Wayne in nothing but his socks, and 2 more-than-accommodating women who do all the work.
Wayne’s rep says if there is a tape, the rapper didn’t know he was being filmed. And the rep makes it clear they will pounce if a tape is released to the public, saying, “We’ll sue the hell out of them.”
It would be difficult for pornography brands such as Vivid Entertainment (Kim Kardashian Superstar, Mimi & Nikko:Scandal in Atlanta) to release any sex tape featuring Wayne without his consent. Kardashian claimed her tape with R&B singer Ray J was leaked. She later sued Vivid and reportedly settled with the company for $5 million.
(AllHipHop News) It took 67 years, but finally an African-American woman was awarded an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. The honor went to Viola Davis for her portrayal of Annalise Keating in ABC’s How To Get Away With Murder.
“‘In my mind, I see a line, and over that line I see green fields and lovely flowers and beautiful white women with their arms stretched out to me over that line. But I can’t seem to get there no how. I can’t seem to get over that line.’ That was Harriet Tubman in the 1800’s,” said Davis during her acceptance speech. “And let me tell you something. The only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity. You cannot win an Emmy for roles that are simply not there.”
The night also saw the return to the Emmys for comedian/actor Tracy Morgan. The star of 30 Rock was involved in a serious car accident in 2014 where he suffered numerous injuries. Morgan took the stage at Microsoft Theater to hand out the award for Outstanding Drama Series.
“I missed you guys so much,” Morgan told the crowd as they gave him a standing ovation. “Thanks to my amazing doctors and the support of my family, my beautiful new wife, I’m here… standing on my own two feet.”
Other winners at the 67th annual Emmy Awards included Uzo Aduba (Orange Is the New Black) for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, Regina King (American Crime) for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie, and Reg E. Cathey (House of Cards) for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series.
The HBO film Bessie starring Queen Latifah and Mo’Nique took home the award for Outstanding Television Movie. HBO also won the two biggest awards of the night. Game of Thrones received the Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series, and Veep was awarded Outstanding Comedy Series.
Apparently Minister Louis Farrakhan is not here for the way Beyonce dresses. He feels that it’s Jay Z’s job to keep her “in line” and to keep her clothed. He also seems to believe women tempt men and take their minds off of the Bible and Quran when they “disrobe” themselves. But isn’t she an entertainer and a grown woman?! Isn’t it her prerogative to be fully clothed or scantily clad? What are your thoughts?
Well Rick Ross has gotten in good with Mama Galore. Rick Ross’ fiancee’s (Lira Galore) mother seems to be okay with Rick Ross cheating on her daughter because he buys her diamonds. SMH. It seems that some women and their mothers will compromise and overlook anything for a lifestyle and material things. Lira’s mother said Lira is winning if she’s the one being treated like a Queen in the palace, whether Ross is out there cheating or not. She goes on to say men will be men. When we are introduced to some of these “celebrity” parents, we understand why they are so messed up!
The King of petty 50 Cent strikes again. Fans seemed to be asking him why in the world he was in a picture with what appeared to be a transgender woman (or this one to be exact). 50 replied saying why wouldn’t he take the pic, especially since he has taken pics with Diddy. When will he leave Puff alone? Young Buck didn’t seem to be with it though.
Bow Wow is not too happy about Erica Mena sharing their personal business on Instagram. He feels like telling your personal business on social media is lame. He also said Erica Mena was attention seeking because her miscarriage happened 5 months ago. Ouch. They won’t last long. As much as we didn’t understand why they were together, it actually makes perfect sense. Who else would they be with.
(AllHipHop News) With all the hype surrounding Drake and Future teaming up for What A Time To Be Alive, it appears Top Dawg Entertainment is not ready to cede any ground in the Hip Hop landscape.
